NEW HAVEN OSC. Os 1OCts
To the Public:
The great charity fair of the Grand Army
of the Republic will open at the Second Reg
iment armory December Ii. The arrange
ments have been pushed SO vigorously by the
citizens committee and the undertaking has
assumed that magnitude that it may well be
called the fair of the entire community. But
few days remain in which to aid the noble
work. In the meantime the various ward
committees will endeavor to sse every family
in their district. If not called upon, hand
your contributions to the chairman or any
member of the ward committee. If still
more convenient send your contributions to
the headquarters of the soliciting committee,
7S1 Chapel street. We need at least three
thousand articles to stock the twenty-five
booths. Brie-a-brac, embroidery, tidiss,
plaques, drawn work, hand-painted articles
are all acceptable, as they can be sold to good
advantage. From dry goods stores we need
napkins, towels, handk'fs, hosiery, gloves, etc
From fancy goods stores we want ribbons,
laces, worsted articles, edgings, threads, need
les, etc. From grocery stores we need fancy
crackers, fruits, canned goods, flour, coffee,
tea, sugar, etc. From hardware stores we
scriptions. In fact, any article of merchan-
disc that can be used to swell the fund will
be promptly acknowledged through the pub
lie press Remember that the entire net
receipts of this fair are to be devoted to the
care and comfort of the old and destitute
veterans of the war who, by age or inhrmi-
ty, have become unable to help themselves.
AT the regular weekly meeting of Admiral
Foote post December s, upwards of $50 was
voted out in cash, coal, flour and groceries
to destitute veterans and their dependents.
1t is one of the leading principles of the
Grand Army to permit no old soldier to pass
his declining days in the almshouse or sleep
his last sleep in a pauper's grave. The fol-
lowing is list of soliciting committees in
the various wards. Respectfully,
D. S. THOMAS,
Chairman General Soliciting Committee
